I have a Ryzen 5 1600AF (Zen+) and 2x 8 GB DDR4 3600 HyperX. when I select XMP1, it says 1.35V in the profile. however, when I boot Strelec WinPE USB (I’m on Fedora, I really don’t want to install windows just so I can run HWINFO), install all drivers and launch HWINFO64 it says 1.2V. so I enter BIOS again, go to Voltages and enter 1.35 manually instead of auto. no change, still reads 1.2V. the BIOS side screen shows 1.35 after reboot.
I’ve found an unresolved thread somewhere with the same problem for my board. I’m on latest BIOS.
am I missing something, is there some additional setting I need to switch so it registers? the BIOS setup is hella confusing and borderline stupid, e.g. enabling virtualization required turning on SMP (how am I supposed to guess what that is?!) that’s located in the “Frequency” subsection (wtf?!).
If it’s running stable at the correct speed, does it matter what voltage it runs on?
it is not, presently it runs at 2400. setting it to 3600 causes it to fail to boot. occasionally it boots fine, but various apps don’t work (Firefox can’t open, Geekbench crashes, etc.). also, there’s the known issue of freezing after waking from sleep, for which the fixed voltage is supposedly the fix.
